2000 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS 1.8T Turbo 2dr Hatchback

Review

We are nearing the end of our 3 yr
lease term on a 2000 Turbo New Beetle
and I couldn't be happier! This is
without question the most unreliable
vehicle I have owned in the last 12
years (out of 8 vehicles). I have
owned 2-Chryslers, 2-Jeeps, 2-BMWs,
Pontiac and now this junker...what a
mistake. Problems: too many O2 sensors
to count; catalytic converter; dead car
(only to start mysteriously within 1
hr); gas cap cable; emergency brake
cable; coolant loss (where did THIS
go?); etc, etc. 2-yrs and 24K miles on
the warranty...should have been a
message at time of purchase: VW KNEW
THIS ONE WAS A STINKER!
Buy American!
